    Watch Ronald Landry of CIBC Mellon discuss changing investor demographics and impact on ETFs

    ETF TV welcomes Ronald Landry of CIBC Mellon to discuss changing investor demographics and impact on ETFs ETF TV, the premier source for insights into the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), issuers, and investments, is pleased to announce its latest episode featuring industry expert Ronald Landry, Vice President, Head of Segment Solutions and Canadian ETF Services at CIBC Mellon, joins Deborah Fuhr on ETF TV to discuss changing investor demographics and impact on ETFs.  Changing Investor Demographics and Impact on ETFs Ron Landry highlighted a significant shift in investor demographics, noting that younger generations are increasingly entering the investment market through ETFs, unlike their parents or grandparents who preferred mutual funds. Despite this trend, ETFs are now popular across all age groups. Landry emphasized the importance for ETF providers to tailor their engagement strategies to resonate with different generational investors. For example, younger investors are more engaged through platforms like Reddit, while older generations prefer traditional methods. Successful engagement requires meeting investors where they are and effectively communicating the message. Outlook for 2025 Landry expressed optimism for the ETF market in 2025, marking the 35th anniversary of ETFs, which were first launched in Canada. The year has started strong with $16 billion in inflows, nearly $6 billion more than the same period last year. He anticipates a great year for ETFs, despite some challenges faced by smaller ETF issuers in distribution. These issuers are shifting towards direct-to-investor models. Notably, over 80% of the flows are directed to the top ten issuers in Canada. ETFs have grown remarkably, from 6% of investment fund assets in 2014 to 20% last year. Landry projects that ETFs could constitute 50% of investment fund assets in Canada within the next seven to ten years, driven by lower costs and better product access. Overall, the Canadian ETF market continues to evolve with innovative products tailored to highlighting the changing demographics of investors, the growing popularity of ETFs, and the optimistic outlook for the ETF market in 2025.

    Jeremy Senderowicz, Vedder Price, discusses regulatory changes impacting ETFs

    ETF TV Welcomes Jeremy Senderowicz, Vedder Price, to Discuss Regulatory Changes Impacting ETFs ETF TV, the premier source for insights into the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), issuers, and investments, is pleased to announce its latest episode featuring industry expert Jeremy Senderowicz, Shareholder at Vedder Price, who joins Margareta Hricova and Deboah Fuhr on ETF TV to discuss significant regulatory changes impacting the ETF industry. Key Highlights: This episode provides valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications for the ETF industry. Approval of Bitcoin and Ether ETFs: Jeremy Senderowicz discusses the SEC’s recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January and Ether ETFs in July, following a court order. This marks a significant development in the ETF landscape. Swing Pricing Proposal: The SEC has retreated from its swing pricing proposal, which could have led many mutual funds to convert to ETFs. The proposal is expected to be reproposed without swing pricing requirements. ETF Share Classes of Mutual Funds: With the expiration of Vanguard’s patent, many registrants have applied to offer ETFs as a share class of mutual funds. However, the SEC has yet to approve any applications and is not expected to do so soon. Regulatory Impact on the ETF Marketplace: Senderowicz identifies three key regulatory developments shaping the ETF market: Adoption of the ETF rule, simplifying the process for managers to offer ETFs. Growth of white label platforms, enabling managers to offer ETFs without extensive infrastructure. Approval of semitransparent activities, attracting major managers to the ETF business. Derivatives Rule: The adoption of the derivatives rule has opened the market to new competitors and introduced leverage and inverse single stock ETFs, creating new product lines in the ETF marketplace. Impact of Upcoming Election: The election outcome will influence the SEC’s stance on approving mutual fund ETF share classes and Solana ETFs. The party that wins the election will likely determine the approval of these applications. This episode provides valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications for the ETF industry. For further information on VedderPrice  https://www.vedderprice.com/

    Lee Bartholomew, Eurex discusses the benefits of options on ETFs for investors on ETF TV

    Lee Bartholomew, Global Head of Fixed Income and Currencies Product Development for Eurex, joins Margareta Hricova and Deboah Fuhr on ETF TV to discuss the benefits of ETF options for investors on ETF TV. The ETFs industry in Europe has seen significant growth, with $2.04 trillion invested by the end of June. This growth has enhanced the market infrastructure for ETFs, particularly through the development of ETF options. Benefits of ETF options for investors: Market Positioning: The business spans cash and derivatives, with a focus on passive investment growth. This has led to a robust global index derivatives business, covering fixed income, equity, and commodities. Product Ecosystem: The aim is to create a comprehensive product ecosystem that includes both cash and derivatives, catering to multi-strategy and fixed income specialist portfolios. This includes tools like credit futures and treasury options, which are physically settled. Fixed Income ETF Options: The decision to launch these options was driven by significant growth in the US market, driven by both institutional and retail demand. The goal was to provide European asset managers with accessible, UCITS-compliant products. US vs. Europe: The US has a more advanced ETF options market with a strong retail presence. In Europe, the market is primarily institutional, with products used for various strategies such as volatility arbitrage, covered calls, and tactical hedges. Client Needs: The focus is on how ETF options can replicate desired risks cost-effectively and provide deep liquidity. Clients are increasingly comfortable using listed products alongside OTC options for comprehensive market access. For further information on Eurex, go to www.Eurex.com
